In 1905, Mauzan moved to Milan, Italy, and in 1926 he moved to Buenas Aires, Argentina, where he set up his own poster publishing house. He was strongly influenced by Leonetto Cappiello, as well as by Adolfo Hohenstein, who he worked under at the Ricordi publishing house in Milan.
Mauzan is generally considered to be part of the Art Deco art movement that flourished between the First and Second World Wars. The vintage poster artist Gino Boccasile was his student. He died in 1952.
